Nice pour, but its head can be a little too excited. Thick appearance, dark amber color crowned by white foam. Lacing is nice. Aroma of alcohol, brass, wood, and overripe fruit. Nice mouthfeel: covers the mouth without being sticky. May be too carbonated for some but it’s not a sharp carbonation: just an enthusiastic one. Candy sugar and some prune flavors. Slight sourness. Not terribly complex, on the lackluster side, but not bad either.

Jul 2, 2008 Pours a murky brown-maroon color with thin tan frothy head. It has a light sweet chocolate and phenol aroma. Smooth body with a slight stickiness. Caramel and chocolate flavor with some tart cherries and a light spiciness. The tartness is unexpected and makes me wonder whether it was a bad bottle or a flemish influence. Drinkable but lacks depth.
